The best visual design work is about emotion as much as appearance. Powerful, brilliant pictures--presented in just the right layout--can make us experience a whole range of emotions, from fear to attraction, anger to happiness. The Society of Publication Designers' (SPD) annual competition seeks the very best in editorial design work. Judged by a worldwide panel of top designers, the 43rd edition of Rockport's best-selling SPD series celebrates the journalists, editorial directors, photographers, and other talented individuals who brought events of the year 2007—with all its triumphs and disasters—to our doorsteps and computer screens.
